Rugby fans-where is Croker? - Page 2

As Saturday approaches, its time to bump the thread.

The media have played up this whole Southsider on the Northside thing and I have started a thread on it out of curiosity. The thread has discovered that there is indeed a poor representation of the Southsider, in relation to the Northside. I think this is absolutely terrible albeit true in some circumstances. What really annoyed me today was the fact that the Right Hook is continuing to do its Friday of a rugby weekend outside broadcast from the Lansdowne Hotel on Pembroke road. (deep deep southside)

Would the cause of the Southsider not be better served if George (he being from Cork like) had done his outside broadcast from a hotel on the northside near Croke Park, or are the media dahlings still caught up in the perception that I intended portraying in my original post and unintentially fuelling this "division" of cultures.

George Hooks son is manager of the Lansdowne, that's the only reason that the broadcasts come from there.

Thursday night, Nurses night in Barry's.

We used to go there to gawk at the country women, difficult creatures that they are.

Isn't there a lap dancing club there now as well? Do the girls wear wellies?

Probably.

Lap dancing is next door, last time I was in it was a very wet day and the crew in the wet seats arrived wearing black refuse sacks
